We can say that we were lucky, since our tour included a flight not to Sharm El Sheikh, but to Taba. Most of our compatriots arrive in Scar, and then they are shaking with fear in the Egyptian bus, which takes them 3-4 hours to Taba. The airport in Taba is very small, if someone needs duty free, you should not rely on Taba. Here we saw a small selection of alcohol and nothing else. We were brought to the hotel around 12, settled within half an hour. I liked the hotel itself, very cozy, relaxing music at the reception, everything is slow, polite and with a smile. The staff at the reception almost does not speak Russian, but understands almost everything. The Russians are settled in a heap on the third floor of the third building. But it's not because it's a bad part of the hotel. They seem to be easier to work with. The room had a standard set: a double bed with a hard mattress (as we like), a spacious closet, bedside tables, a table with a mirror. The bathroom has well-functioning plumbing. Towels were changed every day even though we didn't ask. Bed linen and towels are white, clean, without stains. The hotel area is spacious, 2 pools (adult and children) were heated for the New Year, where we spent most of the time, since the sea was cold. We were told that it even snowed in Cairo the day before. A strong wind blew for several days in a row and I did not want to leave the warm pools at all. The beach of the hotel is across the road, half a kilometer to the right. You can take a minibus, you can walk. There were not very many people in the hotel even on New Year's Eve, the beach looked well-groomed, but a bit deserted. There is almost no animation in the hotel. The New Year's show was poor on entertainment, although the dinner itself was excellent. Perhaps because Europeans are not used to celebrating the New Year as actively as we do. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves. Food at the hotel is traditional for most hotels: for breakfast: omelettes, boiled eggs, yogurt, fried beans, beef sausages, corn flakes, delicious pastries. Fruit was represented by dates, oranges, persimmons, guava, sometimes peeled pomegranates. For lunch, soups, beef (harsh), chicken with gravy or fried, fish, rice, potatoes, pasta, various dishes with vegetables. For dinner, the same as for lunch, kebabs are added, we ate this in large quantities - it was delicious, you just lick your fingers! We do not drink alcohol, so it is difficult to talk about quality. On the third day upon arrival, we went on an excursion to Jerusalem with the travel agency votpuskegypt. com, we didn’t overpay as a tour operator, the service was excellent, I especially liked the guide who led the tour in Nazareth and accompanied us to bathe in the Jordan River. After the bath, it felt like we were reborn. In conclusion, I would like to thank the hotel staff for a good attitude and a wonderful holiday, and recommend the hotel to couples or families with children who do not need a noisy life.
